Chapter 1 - THE CRY ABOVE THE MUSIC
Billionaire Evander Kingsley hosts a grand memorial gala for his late wife, Amabel, to launch a foundation in her honor. While the mansion fills with high society, his ambitious PR director and close confidante, Odessa Crane, disables the nursery monitors and lures the nanny away with a fabricated message. Haunted by jealousy over Evander’s devotion to his infant son, August, Odessa abducts the screaming baby and brings him to the edge of the second-story grand marble balcony. In front of nearly two hundred stunned guests, she hovers August over the fatal drop, whispering a venomous indictment: "You always choose him."
